I tried to import a two-column glossary (SL is English and TL is Chinese) into termstar. As a result, both the source language and target language can’t be separated. I mean, in the right page of termstar, both the English and Chinese terms are in the “ENU”part, and nothing appears in the target part. Wondering what’s wrong with this.

( below the "ENG" part is supposeed to be the Target terms, but nothing appears)

In the import wiard>define the import file layout, i choose the first one-"table layout with unique field separation" ; then in the following "field separation" slot, i tried both symboles: " and >>. But still not working. (by the way, same problem occures when i import the .xls file glossary) Is it because we can't import glossary with two language information; because when i import a glossary containing English language only, it worked well, althoug i need type the target term later.

I don't know termstar so this is just a stab in the dark:
you say the import file is a txt, so I presume it is a comma or tab separated txt. It seems probable that there is a problem with the separator, ie Termstar expects a particular separator character, like a TAB between S term and T term, which is not there.

MS Word search and replace can solve this once you figure out the exact problem (^t stands for TAB)
